Extended period

So at about 6 weeks or so I stopped my pp bleeding, ds was born 10/16, but just 2+ weeks ago I started what I thought was my period but the bleeding hasn't stopped yet, has anyone else had this problem with their first period yet?

I stopped pp bleeding at 4 weeks and started my period at 6 weeks pp on the dot. Before giving birth my periods were 4 days max. and this period lasted 10 days. I've read it's normal to have a longer/heavier period than normal for the first few months after giving birth but if you're worried just ask your doctor.

This one has lasted more than 2 weeks, I believe I'm on the 3rd week now and it hasn't showed signs of slowing down or even stopping yet. I'm not too concerned yet but I know signs of when to talk to the doctor. I had a friend that needed a blood transfusion because her period lasted 2 weeks she hasn't had a baby yet so I was just wondering how long it could last after having a baby.
